Not my favorite, but I don't dislike it either. Wouldn't matter either way. I'm still going to do it.

I have always enjoyed it, although it got made at me for cheating on it with the squat and tore my peck !

Weak lift that beats up my shoulders, what is there to like about it? For some strange reason I still do it.

Used to hate it, now I love it. But it does piss me off at times.

I definitely prefer the standing press compared to the bench press, along with the respective variations of each of those two. However, I wouldn't say that the bench press sucks. If it wasn't one of the three contested lifts in powerlifting, I would still be doing it, but not nearly as much as the clean & press, and overhead press from the rack.
